KBShimmer ~ The Holy Kale

The Holy Kale is from the Winter/Holiday collection
from 2016. I only bought it recently though.

The formula is good but the polish is a teeny wee bit
sheer. I applied two coats but when I look at my pictures I can see that I
should have added a third coat. That’s noted for the next time I wear it: Three
coats is needed. The drying time is really good, no worries there.

I stamped on it. The chevrons are from my new Lina
stamping plate “Feeling shapely! 01” and I stamped with a stamping polish from
El Corazón called “Restless Nights”. It’s a beautiful shimmery dark purple.

Here’s my final mani, including a layer of topcoat,
and taken with flash.

Here’s the same thing taken in ordinary daylight, no
sun. On this picture you get a glimpse of the pretty micro glass flecks showing
off their blue side.

This is The Holy Kale on it’s own. It’s two coats and
no topcoat. Like I said: I should have applied three coats for full opacity.

Here are the two sisters side by side. I really like
that stamping polish, it’s so nice with a good dark purple for stamping!

Number of
coats: 2 – but I should have used 3

Drying time: Really
good

Finish: Linear
holo with micro glass flecks

Overall
impression: Cool colour and great rainbows. I’m glad it dries fast, otherwise I
would have said “no” to buy again
